I won't keep you in suspense any longer, here is what was in those wrapped packages.
Didn't they turn out wonderfully?? My finisher Deb really does an amazing job!!
I also have a little progress on Ann Sandles to show you.
She's a bit wrinkly but has been a fun stitch through the Olympics. I obvously won't have her finished by the closing ceremony but I've really enjoyed this little sampler so far. I did make one change, I changed the white thread used for the lettering to GA Straw Bonnet from my stash. I found that the lambswool just didn't show up very well even on the darker linen so I just swapped it out for something that suited me a bit better. I am already looking ahead to what's next to stitch. Both Ann Priest and Lucy Redd are calling to me right now so they're sitting out waiting for me to finish this Ann!
wow those finishes are really lovely
